What are they worried about they are on the side of protecting dictators,they will be in a attack free zone.

Here's another thread that promotes a 'Rally for America'....Not in Oscar's Name.

Are the stars going to avoid French Champagne?

Will the stars be drinking California sparkling wines/champagne?

... Historically speaking, Hollywood has served a key role in keeping America's spirits up, so there is almost a social obligation that they have to carry out."

What a howler this one is! Sucking up to Saddam, spouting off on foreign soil about how much they hate the US, calling our president a stupid racist warmonger - sure works to raise my spirits.

Pavlik said the public mood would play a part in any decision. "We're of the country. We're not just sitting out here in Hollywood not being part of it," he said.

Two howlers for the price of one! See above - if this is how they are "being a part of it", I wish they would all just move to France and be a part of it.

"I think the feeling among Americans would be that this is part of the American lifestyle that we are fighting to protect."

Methinks they have a severely overinflated sense of their own worth.

But the wrong decision could provoke a backlash -- not just in the United States but in the eyes of a world already critical of American isolationism.

No, the world was mad at our "isolationism" before 9-11. Now they're mad at our "meddling" in international affairs. I.e., damned if we get involved, damned if we keep to ourselves.

I'd be concerned about a terrorist attack, if I were them.

I'll repeat what I said last year when Hollywood fretted over the Academy Awards.

I'd love to see the show broadcast from an undisclosed location using those green night-vision cameras. Talk about reinforcing paranoia and self-importance!

You have got to be kidding.

...this is part of the American lifestyle they are fighting to protect.

Yes, we must protect the coke-snorting anorexic cosmetic-surgery junkies whose hobbies are divorcing one another and sniggering about how "dumb" the president is. That's what we're trying to protect alright. Our sacred right to dress up nincompoops and bid them play make-believe.

Are the Oscars even relevant anymore?

I mean, who cares?

[TADSLOS]

The unspoken "What if?" dilemma facing Hollywood is whether war will wait until after the Oscar red carpet is rolled out, and whether the curtain will go up if it does not.

Yeah, DoD has a contingency plan to put everything on hold for 24 hours so the Oscars can go on uninterrupted from something as distracting as a war - NOT. Pure self absorption, the essence of Hollywood. Those from Hollywood who pretend to be illuminated, world view intellectuals against a war in Iraq are the same fools who wring their hands over whether they will be able to walk down the red carpet on time to congratulate themselves on being professional pretenders. The irony is as thick as their wallets padded by American dollars brought to them from the people threatened by the terrorists they defend through their protest of the war.
